My dog understands Swahili. Most deer havent heard it so maybe its an advantage haha.

On a serious note.
I have my dog in front buy his body lenth.
he is not a conventional gun dog he is a strong eye collie.
but he has a nose that can seperate carrots in a stew and eyes and ears far exeeding mine and he dose what he is told i think thats all that matters.
for my way of hunting.

as for a deer seeing a dog before a human, more likely they will see your shiny knee caps or face 3 ft behind the dog before seeing the dog.
and for noise and not talking to your dog, that depends on how hard the area you are hunting is hit. i once read or got told a deer can hear a watch ticking at 70m..
That would mean most deer ive shot new somthing was up?
On tuesday my dog had started shakeing his head.ears flapping making a hell of a racket..thort about it for a sec, sounds much like a wood pidgon taking off.
